After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Is Zhouzhou a Little Trickster?
Zhouzhou suddenly felt a chilly breeze on her little bottom, completely unaware that her own dear dad was walking further and further down the path of self-destruction. She blinked in confusion but didn’t dwell on it much, trotting over to Qin Er and pulling him along to do their tasks.

Today’s task was similar to yesterday’s, still requiring them to get by on meager living expenses. Zhouzhou first ran to the riverbank and caught a few fish, this time choosing the ones they had seen at the fish stall owner’s place yesterday. Looking at the goldfish in her hand, Zhouzhou let them go. The golden ones were a bit disdainful, hmm, good-looking but useless, it’s better to rely on the reliable ones.

As soon as the goldfish entered the water, they swam leisurely, wagging their tails, innocent bubbles forming in their swollen eyes. Blame them? They were just easy targets. The ones that were useful had long been cooked, and it was safe to grow into something like this.

Arriving at the vegetable market, the fish quickly sold out. Zhouzhou happily took the money, squinting so much that her eyes became slits. Seeing this, Qin Yan chuckled and rubbed her little head, “How are you gonna make money today? Selling yarn again?”

At his words, Zhouzhou glanced at him, snorted lightly, and said with her hands on her hips, “Who said that? Brother Dafu knows a lot of things, not just making yarn.”

As she spoke, Qin Er walked over with a string of colorful ropes and waved to Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou immediately ran over and sat down on the sidewalk skillfully. Qin Er handed her the extra ropes, keeping only one for himself. His fingers flew, and soon he tied a small braid on Zhouzhou’s head. The hair intertwined with the colorful ropes looked cute and lovely. Zhouzhou shook her head, touched her chubby paws, and said regretfully, “My fortune hairstyle isn’t done.”

Qin Er secretly hid the hairband she wanted behind his back. Although he thought that Caicai looked good no matter what, this hairstyle was a bit too naive and might affect business. However, Zhouzhou remembered her fortune hairstyle clearly. She spread her hands and said, “Brother Dafu, where’s my fortune hairstyle? Put it on me quickly.”

But Qin Er shook his head. “I have to highlight the hairstyle I made. If you wear it, you won’t see it, and then you won’t make money.”

Hearing the last sentence, Zhouzhou gave up. “Well, Brother Dafu, make sure to put my fortune hairstyle on properly and don’t lose it.”

“Okay.” Qin Er nodded. Seeing Lu Zhaozhao also eagerly looking at her, Zhouzhou pulled her down to sit as well. Qin Er didn’t say anything and tied her hair too. After finishing, he looked at their hair and couldn’t help but rub his chin, frowning slightly. They were both very dense, but too short, and it was hard to highlight their advantages.

Just then, Xiao Lan walked over. “Dafu, do mine too.”

Her hair was long.

Qin Er’s eyes lit up. “Sure, Third Auntie, please sit down.”

Zhouzhou immediately made room for her. Xiao Lan’s hair was very smooth, and Qin Er’s hands were skilled. In no time, he finished braiding her hair. The colorful ropes added a youthful vitality to her appearance, making her look even better.

Zhouzhou exclaimed, spinning around her like a little puppy, wagging her tail vigorously. “Third Auntie looks so pretty!”

Xiao Lan smiled and nodded. “Let’s go.”

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, pulling Lu Zhaozhao behind her, with Huo Ji’an, this handyman, following closely.

Huo Ji’an: “Wow, Aunt Xiao, Chubby Girl, Zhaocai, your hair looks so nice! Who did it for you?”

Zhouzhou: “Brother Dafu did it.”

Huo Ji’an: “Where’s Brother Dafu?”

Zhouzhou: “He’s over there at the intersection, right at the supermarket entrance. He can do many hairstyles, and they all look good.”

The little troublemaker recited the advertisement loudly, attracting the attention of passersby. Xiao Lan was already beautiful, standing out in the crowd. With several cute little girls around her, their combination attracted a hundred percent attention.

Looking at their hairstyles, they really were quite nice. They happened to pass by Qin Er’s stall, and soon a crowd had gathered.

Lu Yanyu was amazed and couldn’t help but give Qin Yan a thumbs-up. “Brother Qin, your kids are really down-to-earth. Even though you’re wealthy, you’re still hustling. This skill isn’t something you can acquire without eight years of hard work.”

Qin Yan rubbed his forehead. He was embarrassed to say that his family had produced these two money-lovers. They didn’t need to be taught; they were naturally good at making money.

Xiao Lan and the kids wandered around and soon attracted all the business. When Zhouzhou went back, she saw many people waiting nearby. With her big, round eyes rolling, she immediately took out the talismans from her bag and shouted, “Fortune-telling! Protective talisman, love talisman, face reading, palm reading, and feng shui analysis, two yuan each! Come and have your fortune told!”

Her voice, though childish, was very penetrating. A director almost slipped and fell, staring dumbfounded as Zhouzhou suddenly transformed into a little trickster. This unexpected turn left him stunned.

Lu Yanyu’s gaze toward Qin Yan was also complicated, wanting to ask but not daring to. Did their family teach this?

Noticing his gaze, Qin Yan proudly lifted his chin. Yes, his daughter Zhouzhou was amazing!

The cameraman hesitated a bit and whispered, “Director, can we air this? Promoting feudal superstition might get us banned.”

The director wiped his face and glanced at the barrage, then exclaimed, “Oh!”

[Hahaha, my Baby Zhouzhou is actually a little trickster, amazing! Come and tell big sister’s fortune.]

[I heard Zhouzhou was raised in a Taoist temple before. Maybe she really knows it.]

[Don’t underestimate her. She folds those talismans quite well.]

Zhouzhou immediately took out a piece of yellow paper and a cinnabar pen and started drawing. Although she did it in a practiced manner, no one believed she really knew how to do it. But it didn’t matter; they just treated it as children playing house.

Seeing the fans playing along, the director relaxed. “It’s okay, continue filming.” With the Qin family backing them, what was there to fear? Having a powerful backer was indeed satisfying.

Soon, many people were drawn to Zhouzhou. One round-faced girl approached her with a smile and asked, “Little girl, can you tell my fortune?”

“Sure.” Seeing a customer, Zhouzhou quickly offered her a stool and sat cross-legged on the ground herself, holding three copper coins in her chubby hands. Blinking, she asked, “What would you like to know, sister?”

The girl thought for a moment. “Just tell me whatever you see.”

After nodding, Zhouzhou carefully examined her face and said, “Sister, your facial features are very good, indicating a harmonious family and smooth fortune without any major disasters.”

The girl nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”

“But,” Zhouzhou’s tone suddenly turned serious, “the position of your sun is a bit dim. The sun represents your father, so it means your father is ill.”

As she spoke, she took out a bottle from her bag and poured out a red pill. “This medicine can cure it. Do you want it?”
